  • Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report
    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.

  • June 2020 Newsletter
    RCMP VETERANS’ ASSOCIATION VANCOUVER DIVISION WEBSITE: http://www.rcmpveteransvancouver.com/ JUNE 2020 GENERAL MEETINGS: In normal times, we would not hold Division General Meetings in the months of July, August and September, so you could say that we are back to normal for the next three months. We are still hopeful that under the phased approach to reopening, being taken by Provincial Health Authorities, we will be able to resume our General Meetings in some form in October. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: These past few months have been a big challenge to all of us. Our whole way of life has basically changed. We now have to take huge measures to protect ourselves from a virus that could take our lives. I know when I make my weekly trip to the grocery store that I will see seniors not practicing social distancing. It concerns me when people don’t listen to the experts in doing something that is so simple. To this end I hope all of our members are taking these precautions and as our Chief Medical Officer says, “Be Safe, be careful and be kind”. To protect our members, the association has suspended our regular lunch meetings until such time as they can be done in safety. We will review this decision again in September and adhere to the advice of our Chief Medical Officer Bonnie Henry. The world itself has been turned upside down with the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. I would not have thought for a minute that an incident in the US could so profoundly affect our country.

  • Bill S222 Letter
    May 7, 2021 The Honourable Senator Ratna Omidvar Senate of Canada/Le Sénat du Canada Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0A4 La traduction française suit Dear Senator Omidvar, I am writing to express strong support for Bill S-222, the Effective and Accountable Charities Act. Thank you for your leadership on this important initiative. The Bill provides a pragmatic, responsible, accountable and just solution to an issue that has been of concern to Canadian international development charities like Farm Radio International for many years. On March 18, 2019, I was invited to speak as a witness before a Special Senate Committee on the Charitable Sector that you co-chaired. In my address to the Committee, I noted that the direction and control provision of the Income Tax Act means that a charity like Farm Radio International can only work with a partner organization in another country – such as a community radio station or women’s group, or a national health organization – if it contracts it as an “intermediary” to implement its own activities under its direction and control. Charities cannot offer contributions to local organizations to enable them, for example, to advance their own compatible charitable activities. This is problematic for Canadian charities involved in international development. Our ultimate success depends on supporting local development partners as they work to become more effective and sustainable organizations in their own countries. If these organizations are simply contracted as “intermediary” service providers that work under Canadian direction and control, their critical leadership in effective development is diminished, undermining the long-term goal of self-reliance.
